This is not "glittering prose"

Gotta love a guy who dubs himself Slush God so I slunk over to read his post on the latest slush annoyance. I think that one queried me too. Either that or KY has been preparing for the Oscars a little too vigourously.

OMG! I didn't think people-who-think-they're-writers actually did this. Sending red,white and blue stars with the ms?? I hate it when people send the stuff in cards for birthdays. But when submitting to agents or editors??

i was thinking yellow and purple would be nicer. And a box of chocolate. And maybe a thank you in advance for making us both rich by publishing my stuff card. Or a Teddy Bear. Or maybe cheetos. A whole bag.

It's very common to see stuff like this in the job hunting world. Someone sent a shoe to a prospective employer for the "foot in the door." Everyone thinks it's gimmicks to get a busy agent's attention. What happened to the good story?
